Initial analysis

The three-story multi-family residential building at 2288-2290 Sutter Street, owned by Sihota Jagroop & Gurshirn, is a two-unit structure built in 1900 in the Lower Pacific Heights neighborhood. The property underwent significant renovation in 2017, with major improvements including the addition of a one-car garage, two bedrooms, family room, bathroom, laundry facilities, and comprehensive updates to all three floors including kitchen and bath remodels, new heating systems, water heaters, and complete electrical rewiring with 200-amp service. More recent maintenance included stairway improvements in 2022 with new wood stair stringers installation.

The building's history shows regular upkeep, including roofing work in 2015 and sidewalk repairs in 2002, though the sidewalk repair permit is now expired. Fire safety systems have been maintained, with three alarm system complaints since 2009, all of which were promptly corrected. A notable tenant buyout occurred in February 2017 for $65,000 involving one tenant. The property has experienced some maintenance issues in late 2024, with multiple reports of street garbage overflow requiring Recology attention between November and December 2024, though these do not directly reflect building conditions.

Risk rating

How 2288-2290 Sutter St's risk score is calculated

We trained a model on 7 years of SF DBI inspection data — notice of violation filings, complaint history, and owner track records. It estimates the probability that DBI inspectors will issue a Notice of Violation at this address in the next 12 months. Lower % = safer.

What the score means for you

Grade A–B — Low risk

DBI rarely finds violations here. Strong maintenance history and a clean complaint record.

Grade C — Moderate risk

Some past violations or complaints on record. Worth asking the landlord about any open issues before signing.

Grade D–F — High risk

Elevated violation and complaint history. DBI has found issues here before and is statistically likely to again.

Neighborhood percentile

Out of 670 buildings in this neighborhood, 114 are predicted to be safer.

Model explanation

What's driving this score

The three data points that most influenced this building's risk rating — ranked by the weight the model placed on each one.

Building age

Older buildings tend to have more maintenance challenges; SF's pre-1906 earthquake housing stock carries distinct risk.

Neighborhood (ZIP code)

The ZIP code captures local housing market and enforcement patterns that affect all buildings in the area.

Estimated permit spend (past 7 years)

Dollar value of permits pulled at this address — large recent spend can signal deferred-maintenance catch-up.

12-Month severity forecast
No violation 76.8%
Moderate concern 14.6%
Severe concern 8.5%
Estimated probability of receiving a DBI Notice of Violation in the next 12 months at each severity level. Model: full_hgb_balanced.
